IBM Server Recovery Services
Specialist data recovery for failed IBM servers with ServeRAID controllers. Recovering from hardware failures, crashed arrays, and corrupted configurations.
Emergency Server RecoveryIBM Server Data Recovery Specialists
At Physical Data Recovery, we specialize in recovering data from failed IBM servers with ServeRAID controllers. Our London lab is equipped to handle all IBM server configurations, from single drive failures to complete RAID array collapses.
Critical Server Failure Warning
If your IBM server shows any of these signs, power it off immediately to prevent further data loss:
- Amber status lights on drives or chassis
- "Degraded array" or "failed logical drive" alerts
- ServeRAID controller failure messages
- Multiple drive failures in RAID array
- Unusual clicking or beeping sounds

Our IBM Server Recovery Process
-
Initial Evaluation
We assess all drives individually in our cleanroom environment (£54 diagnostic fee per drive)
-
Drive Imaging
Create sector-by-sector clones of each drive to prevent further damage
-
ServeRAID Configuration Analysis
Recover original RAID parameters and logical drive structure
-
Virtual Reconstruction
Rebuild array virtually using specialized IBM ServeRAID tools
-
Data Extraction
Recover files with original directory structures and permissions
-
Verification & Delivery
Verify data integrity and return on new storage or secure transfer
